Outlaw ForgeFX
Commercial software commerce built for scale.
ForgeFX is a production SaaS platform for selling digital software, fulfilling purchases, issuing licenses and API keys, enforcing subscription state, operating a multi-seller marketplace, and giving buyers, sellers, administrators, finance, support, and operations teams purpose-built command centers.
Pre-release candidate engineering complete
Executive overview
Built for the complete operation.
Make commercial software operations explicit. Checkout, ownership, downloads, licensing, subscriptions, refunds, seller workflows, marketplace discovery, payment-provider state, and administrative policy remain connected without hiding lifecycle behavior inside unrelated systems.

What the platform changes.
Technology only matters when it improves how the business operates.
Enforce the complete lifecycle
Billing events change real access state rather than stopping at payment reporting.

- Cancellation expiry
- Refund and dispute revocation
Operate every side of the marketplace
Buyer, seller, admin, portal, public, finance, support, and operations experiences share one platform boundary.
- Buyer library
- Seller publishing
- Admin command center
- Portal license visibility
How it works

Product experience
Clarity at operational scale.
Dense systems should still feel understandable. Purpose-built workspaces keep critical state visible without turning the interface into noise.
Architecture and trust
Engineered beneath the interface.
Security, scalability, integration boundaries, performance, and administration are part of the product—not an appendix.
Application surfaces
ForgeFX separates its API, public web application, admin UI, and portal UI while sharing one commercial domain.
- API service
- Next.js web
- Admin UI
- Portal UI
Authentication and security
Canonical accounts use scrypt passwords, hashed sessions and one-time tokens, role associations, audit logs, secure headers, origin checks, and rate limits.
- HTTP-only sessions
- Single-use recovery tokens
- Role-aware authorization
- Admin session/API-key boundaries
Lifecycle processing
The active Stripe webhook processor verifies signatures and performs idempotent fulfillment and subscription enforcement.
- Event-id idempotency
- Session/order deduplication
- Subscription state changes
- License validation
Performance and operations
Aggregate catalog queries, cache headers, readiness endpoints, deployment guidance, and rollback documentation support operational discipline.
- Optimized catalog queries
- Safe read caching
- Dependency readiness
- Release validation

Real-world scenarios
Designed around work that happens.
Representative ways teams can apply the platform without reducing it to a generic feature list.
Independent software company
Publish software tiers, take payment, fulfill licenses and downloads, and manage renewals without stitching together unrelated systems.

Multi-seller marketplace
Give sellers publishing workflows while the operator controls marketplace quality, products, pricing policy, storage, and payment readiness.

Subscription product
Tie recurring billing events directly to access state so past-due, paid, canceled, and refunded accounts receive the correct entitlement automatically.

Platform philosophy
Principles that shape every release.
- Billing state must change access state
- Fulfillment must be idempotent
- Admin actions must be auditable
- Marketplace and seller concerns stay separated
- Every interface should reflect real API state
Current state and roadmap
Honest about what comes next.
Available capability, active validation, and roadmap direction are presented separately.
Core commercial platform
Marketplace, seller publishing, checkout fulfillment, buyer library, licenses, subscription enforcement, admin controls, and role-aware experiences are implemented and locally validated.
Release candidate gate
Engineering remediation and cross-application validation are complete; RC1 awaits owner/legal decisions and explicit approval.
Production release
Production deployment follows formal release-candidate approval, policy decisions, and controlled redeployment.
Future product destination
A dedicated product website is planned.
This page is already designed to hand off naturally when the standalone ForgeFX website is ready.
Frequently asked questions
The important details.
Does ForgeFX issue real entitlements after checkout?+
Yes. Documented Stripe fulfillment creates paid orders, order items, API keys, and active licenses, with duplicate protection across events, sessions, orders, and license metadata.
How are failed subscriptions handled?+
Failed invoices and past-due subscriptions suspend licenses. Paid invoices reactivate them and update expiry. Canceled subscriptions expire access.
Does it support multiple operational roles?+
Yes. The canonical account model supports buyer, seller, admin, support, finance, and operations role associations with role-aware application surfaces.
Is ForgeFX production deployed?+
The repository describes pre-release-candidate engineering as complete but explicitly requires owner approval before RC1 and production redeployment.
